I'd change the spark plug first.[emoji106]

I've used a "big shot" for playing golf, and I'd highly recommend it. [emoji106]

The realities of hand cutting

Yeah, but for some strange reason, I absolutely love it. [emoji6][emoji106] -

This is a 45 degree muddy slope. Dragging brash and logs down is easy. It's the slog back up. It's killing me. [emoji51]

Find it. I was thinking of you when I posted it. [emoji6][emoji106]

He's put a clip over the dead mans and the throttle. Interesting about the Lucas mill. The beam maker looks very useful[emoji106] Found the diagonal Alaskan milling hard to watch. [emoji849] Looked like ash too.[emoji51] Love to know more about Lucas mills. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Nice bit of kit [emoji106]

Selling my unreliable dinosaws and buying new reliable saws was one of the best things I've done. A 50cc Saw with 16" bar should be fine for firewood. Husky faster but unreliable, Stihl more expensive but reliable. Dolmar,Makita,echo etc no idea. Just my experience. What's your nearest dealer?

Yes. They will have dried nicely. [emoji106]

I could only do 5 minutes of David Icke. There will always be sociopaths bent on ruling everything. Again look at history. The evolution of larger and larger empires/kingdoms/etc A one world government is inevitable. Either Chinese/Russian or US/euro. It's a global dictatorship. As for climate change being fake... Again. Go study it. You can access lots of raw data. If you're really sceptical, you can collect mud,ice and rock samples yourself and analyse them. Icke is correct about the shady economic groups existence but then claims all climate change is fake??? Oh humans..... [emoji20]

Yes, But if history is anything to go by... We will be forced to change by nature. If we can adapt in time. The next dark age is coming. I'd recommend hoarding books about farming/hort, medicines,science,construction, electrics,engineering etc. [emoji12][emoji106]

Yep. The truth is we are all complicit with the industrial military capitalists. There's going to be a lot of change, whether we like it or not.[emoji51]

Actually this is an ice age right now. We are just in a warm spot. The problem with discussing climate change is nearly everyone has an opinion, but so few have looked at the science. [emoji20]
-
Yes mate, that's politics and the gravy train. I studied climate change as part of a natural sciences degree. When you have looked at the evidence for the history of the earths temperature. It's really rather scary. I won't go into the boring mechanics. It's just happening very slowly. I wonder what our great grandchildren will think of us.

Nice setup mate [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Put a "milling logs wanted" advert up. If you can collect from Huddersfield, I've got a few logs I could spare [emoji106]
-
Here's some examples of milling logs I've bought recently. Beech 20-30" x 8' £65 a ton collected from the forest. Sycamore 3'x 8' superb character £100 collected from field. Elm 4' x 9' delivered £300 Oak 2-3' x 8' collected from forest £100 a ton. Sitka 2 ton for £120 delivered. Prices will vary quite a bit depending who you know, How far away? What's the accesss? Can you collect big heavy logs? A 30" oak log at 12' weighs about 2.5+ tons. And turning big logs on a mill is very difficult. (As I found out [emoji23]) [emoji106]
-
Piece of string answer. Hard or softwoods? Forest grown? Artic load or trailer? Graded? Delivered? As a vague rule £100 a ton is a fair price for most hardwoods collected. Less for softwoods. Valuable species can go for a lot lot more. [emoji106]

If you really want to push your limits, Go to the American west coast or Australia, west Africa or the amazon. You'll be glad to be cutting little English trees afterwards. [emoji12][emoji106] -
Your house is going to be that colour [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Great looking stack of oak firewood. It'll take at least 2 years to season that maybe 3. As Steve says mix it up with other dry woods. [emoji106]

Surgical rubber was the best when I was younger. [emoji106]
